On April 24, Pennsylvania College of Technology will host an information session on its emergency medical services/paramedic program and its emergency medical technician course.
The event is scheduled at 7 p.m. in the college’s Klump Academic Center, Room 10.
During the session, program leaders will discuss the college’s EMS associate degree and paramedic technician certificate – both of which prepare graduates for certification as a paramedic. They will talk about entrance requirements, certification requirements, the program’s structure and job opportunities for graduates.
Labs will be open for tours, and faculty and staff will be on hand to answer questions.
Those interested in becoming an emergency medical technician can learn more about the EMT course that is offered in three counties by Workforce Development at Penn College. The course meets National Emergency Medical Services Educational Standards and Instructional Guidelines and is intended to prepare students for National Registry cognitive and psychomotor exams at the EMT level.
Local employers will attend to discuss job opportunities for both EMTs and paramedics.
